Charlie Crist: A Serving of Pork Sounds Good

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On November 11, I wrote of the statements that Charlie Crist made denying that he ever supported Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill in his role as Florida’s Governor. Unfortunately for his obfuscation, though, I noted that he and 17 other governors signed a letter in February of this year announcing support for the Stimulus. Apparently […]

 

Global Warming Produces Plague of Giant Jellyfish

Posted on by Dave Blount

Even as the wheels come loose from the discredited global warming hoax, the statist media continues to fabricate exotic new threats in an increasingly farcical attempt to scare us into believing in the liberal elite’s favorite Trojan horse for totalitarianism. Now we need the Authorities to do something really drastic or we’ll be menaced by […]

 

Unnamed Experts Find Michele Bachmann Extreme

Posted on by Dave Blount

Michele Bachmann must be doing something right. She’s scared the pants off moonbats all the way over in England: Bachmann, at 53, is a darling of the so-called Tea Party movement, which has campaigned vociferously against healthcare reform, the economic stimulus package and legislation to combat climate change. Her followers have been behind mass rallies […]

 

B*tches And Man-Haters

Posted on by John Hawkins

As I was reading the lefty-blog, Feministing, I came across an utterly unremarkable post called “Notes from a b*tch…pondering what it all means….” There was nothing of interest in the post, but it did prompt me to ask: What the hell is up with certain women referring to themselves as “b*tches?” Really? I know that […]

 

The Job Bomb

Posted on by John Hawkins

The job market in our country is shockingly grim and getting worse: Think the worst is over? Wrong. Conditions in the U.S. labor markets are awful and worsening. While the official unemployment rate is already 10.2% and another 200,000 jobs were lost in October, when you include discouraged workers and partially employed workers the figure […]

 

Five Terrible Cruelties of Liberalism

Posted on by John Hawkins

“You will find that I am kind. Unlike the cruel Leonidas, who demanded that you stand…I require only that you kneel.” — King Xerxes, 300 Liberalism is an extraordinarily deceptive, ruinous and cruel ideology. That’s because liberalism comes, arms wide open, whispering sweet words of compassion and pity, even as it forcefully slams down a […]

 

Thinning The RINO Herd?

Posted on by McQ

Here’s an interesting exchange between Chris Wallace and Republican GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Fox News Sunday yesterday: WALLACE: Let me turn, because I would – I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t ask you a few political questions, Senator. Conservatives are now talking about launching primary challenges against […]

 

Illinois’ Gov And Senator Think Terrorists Bring ‘Good-Paying Jobs’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Once again we see how clueless Democrats like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and Senator Dick Durbin are on matters of national security. With Barack Hussein Obama’s decision to treat the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay as if they are common American criminals, as the president bestows all American rights upon them, and with his decision to […]

 

Lift a Glass to the Past: America Rooted in Tradition or a New Covenant?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Is the United States a grand experiment, a new covenant invented out of whole cloth by the fertile minds of the founders from never before seen ideas or is it a nation spawned from deeply rooted traditions of western thought? This was the question posited in a one-day-long conference on classicism in America’s founding sponsored […]

(Hawkins’ Note: Conor Friedersdorf challenged me to a debate. I accepted. This is the third of three posts from the two of us on this subject. A link to Conor Friedersdorf’s posts will be listed at the end of the article.) You’ve written that Bush era mistakes weren’t cases “where conservative politicians pursued conservative positions […]

 

Union Goons Go After Aspiring Eagle Scout

Posted on by Dave Blount

No good deed goes unpunished, in a country dominated by Comrade Obama’s union cronies: In pursuit of an Eagle Scout badge, Kevin Anderson, 17, has toiled for more than 200 hours over several weeks to clear a walking path in an east Allentown park. Little did the do-gooder know that his altruistic act would put […]

 

Racism Imposed From the Bench

Posted on by Dave Blount

So much for people being judged by the content of their character. Our president was chosen primarily for his skin color; U.S. District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle in Louisiana has ruled that the same should hold true for school board members: A federal judge ordered the Tangipahoa Parish School Board this week to hire qualified […]
